Mmm, tangerine chiffon yogurt. This is pretty good stuff. If you have the means, I highly recommend it.

As you can see, I finally shelled out for my own domain name. Welcome to fresh-hell.com. I thought long and hard about whether to include the dash or not, but something about the double h in freshhell.com bugged me.

Other than that, this has been a pretty boring holiday weekend. It's nice to have Jim around, certainly. But we haven't done anything very exciting. We rented a lot of videos. It's actually been pretty hot here - near 90 degrees F most days - so we've been lying about like slugs. I know those of you who live in warmer climates are laughing at me right now ("Wimp! 90 degrees is nothing!"), but you probably have air conditioning in your house and car, now don't you? Yeah, I thought so.

Jim and I played tennis on Friday. That would've been a lot more fun if it wasn't so hot. I'm getting better at tennis. I'm not getting better at not throwing the racket. I don't know what it is - I think I'm a pretty even tempered person generally. I don't fly off the handle, or yell at people often. But put me on a tennis court, racket in hand, sweat beading on my upper lip, and suddenly I become John McEnroe. I was even protesting some of Jim's calls. Luckily, I got a hold of myself before he ran away in protest.

Jim and I were picking out our videos at the video store. They have a deal where you can get 5 videos for 5 days for 5 bucks, just not any new releases, of course. We like to call it "5 for 5 for 5". The first 2 or 3 are easy - there's the movie you always wanted to see but never got around to it, the one you caught half of last Sunday on cable and wanted to see the ending, the movie you loved as a teenager and wanted to see if it stands the test of time, the older films by a director or actor you recently discovered - see, no problem. It's movie number 4 or 5 that usually presents a problem. By then, you can't think of any more, and you're just tired and want to go home. But you can't get the deal without 5 movies. It's not 4 for 4 for 4, people! It's 5 for 5 for 5.

Plus, when you are part of a couple, there's the fairness factor, which is impossible with odd numbers. I mean, sure there are movies that we both want to see, but 98% of the time, one of us wants to see it more than the other. So we each pick 2 movies and then who gets to pick the 5th one?

So last night, Jim thought of Trainspotting and then I thought of The House of Yes. Jim wanted some Akira Kurosawa movie, but it was out. I think they were all out. No, I didn't hide them somewhere. So he decided on Beautiful Girls because his girlfriend, Natalie Portman, is in it. Yes, we know she's not legal yet. So I picked Empire Records because I wanted to see just how bad it was, plus it starred Rory Cochrane from Dazed and Confused.

Now we were down to the fifth movie. I saw Jim head over to War and Western and I knew I had to act quickly. I spotted a display of letterboxed movies (which Jim prefers) and said "Hey, you haven't ever seen Die Hard, have you?". Jim said no, and I grabbed it. Mission accomplished.

Except I grabbed Die Hard 3, and Die Hard wasn't in. So we ended up with The Myth of Fingerprints.
